Hello folks at imdb,
today I saw that apparently my review for Kolberg (1945) got deleted
title page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036989/?ref_=tt_urv
Sadly I cannot say when exactly this happened, but the review itself was probably published on 18 June 2016. Could you check? As I do not have access to what exactly I wrote back then, I cannot rule out the possibility that the report (and consequently the deletion) was accurate. So if you cannot reinstate said review, it would be much appreciated if you could send me the review (here, per mail or wherever you want), so I can fix the questionable parts.

Happy weekend,

Hi Horst -
I was unable to locate your submission but I was able to locate your User Review titled: Nazi Germany's take on David vs. Goliath
"Kolberg" is a German film from 1945 by the infamous writer and director Veit Harlan and even if Germany had already lost the war at this point, the film industry had not yet understood that the fight was lost. The core message of this Nazi German propaganda is that they are telling the German population to hang in because no matter how hopeless and bad the situation seems, there is always the possibility to turn the tables. The core hatred in here is not against Jews anymore as in many other propaganda films, but it is the French guys getting their fair share this time. It plays during the days of Napoleon and he is also one of the main characters in here, the main antagonist as we watch the (likeable) Prussian forces desperately and bravely fight the evil French forces. In order to include an emotional impact, Heinrich George's and Kristina's characters were included. They do not necessarily have a whole lot to do with the military battle, but they are inevitably confronted with it. And the ending of course, in old Nazi manner, shows that all the dying, all the sacrifice and all the losses were worth it and had to happen in order to gain victory. Well.. I must say there were a couple solid moments in terms of story-telling, more than usual for a Harlan film, but overall it was not enough for a 100-minute movie I must say. The message to hang in is worth discussing if it is really that bad to allow people to ban this movie. I don't really think so. But I also do not think that story-telling or acting in here are memorable enough (or memorable at all) to say this film is worth watching. I personally five it a thumbs-down and do not recommend checking it out.
I hope this helps!

Awesome, thank you Michelle.
Can you also tell me if there is a way for me to find it myself next time, so I can solve a similar matter on my own without opening a topic here?
Besides, this can be seen as solved then.
